Willy's Edition Green Top...
The possibility of Besttop putting out a green one has always been our hope. Wrote to them and got the final word:
I contacted BESTTOP asking what chance we Willys Edition owners had of ever getting a green replacement top. First came their standard answer:

Thank you for writing.Joe, Unfortunately, the green top was an anniversary edition top and will not be remade in the future.
Thank You

Not liking the “standard” answer, GIJOE pressed them further, for more information. Very interesting reply. The copyrights to the green colored top belong to CHRYSLER!

Joe, Due to the fact that we have to buy fabric in 10 year allotments, this top will not be made in this color in the future. Special edition tops are special run tops that are only made one per vehicle. Chrysler may be able to produce another top for you, as they own the rights to this top and even if we did decide to buy 10 years worth of fabric for these special edition vehicles, we do not have the legal rights to reproduce it.
Thank You

I guess I have been putting the blame in the wrong place all this time, and I thank Besttop for straightening me out. I’ve contacted my dealership - they want $800+ just for the top fabric! Side and rear windows are extra, to the tune of $200+ for each. Didn’t even bother to get the price of the half door uppers. Asked Besttop for permission to forward the info to the Jeepforum/ Willy’s Edition Club, and they graciously said OK. Now we know the rest of the story...

Joseph, You can forward our replies to any club or groups.
Thank You

First off, we owe a big thank you to GIJOE for his persistence on the issue.

I'm going to try and get my hands on a piece of used top in any color (or try several colors) and see if it will accept a dye or vinyl paint such as Krylon OD Green. It may not be a perfect match, but hopefully it will lookd good and stand out. The green top isw one of my favorite aspects of these Jeep!

I just bought a Sun Bonnet top in Dark khaki. If and when the Green one sees it's last day a Dark Khaki will go on without a second thought. Also had a "Invaision" circle done for my hood star, will post pictures when it's on.

www.wermopar.com has the top cheaper...about $560...my top has stayed good since it's hidden under a tonneau from may-october but I could really use a new set of tinted windows...sigh...if anyone ever finds this and wants to sell your Willys windows in good shape PM me.
